Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Jordan Graham says he hopes to be back training before the new year.

Graham, who has been sidelined since February, previously predicted a November return to training but has since suffered a setback in his recovery from a knee ligament tear.

Ahead of a trip to London with Molineux physio Jazz Sodhi on Monday, the 21-year-old posted the following message on Twitter:

“Off to London today with the man I’ve driven crazy for nine months, Jazz Sodhi. Hopefully only six-eight weeks off training now. Patience is key.”

Graham proved a revelation in his first full season at Molineux – scoring once and assisting six times after returning from a spell on loan to Oxford United.

Wolves, however, strengthened heavily in the former Aston Villa youngster’s absence, following July’s takeover by Chinese conglomerate Fosun International.

The left-sider is likely to have a trio of new recruits – Helder Costa, Ola John and Ivan Cavaleiro – to contend with on his return to action, with another long-term injury victim Michal Zyro also among Wolves’ options.

Wolves, who sacked head coach Walter Zenga last week, have made a disappointing start to the new Championship season and are currently 17th after Saturday’s draw at Blackburn Rovers.
